Nmap Scan Reporter 🔍

A simple Python cybersecurity tool that runs Nmap scans, parses the results, and highlights open ports, services, and potential vulnerabilities.

Features

• Run Nmap with version + OS detection
• Parse output for open ports and service versions
• Detect vulnerable services using simple version checks
• Clean console-based summary

How It Works

1. User inputs target IP or hostname

When you run python3 scan.py, the script asks for a target to scan (e.g., scanme.nmap.org or your local IP).

2. Runs Nmap scan with version and OS detection

The script runs an Nmap command in the background to scan the target’s open ports, services, and operating system.

3. Saves raw Nmap output to a file

The output is saved in the output/ folder as a text file for later analysis.

3. Parses the scan results

The parser reads the saved Nmap file, extracts open ports, service versions, and attempts to identify potential vulnerabilities based on known version issues.

4. Displays a clean summary in the console

Finally, the script prints an easy-to-read summary of open ports, detected services, OS guess, and any vulnerability warnings.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Nmap installed (sudo apt install nmap)

Usage

python3 scan.py

Then enter a target IP (e.g. scanme.nmap.org or your local IP).
